Description

Featuring some of today's most beloved actresses, these piercing photographic vignettes capture female characters in the throes of powerful emotional transformations. Art director Jessica Ennis and photographer Caitlin Cronenberg collected stories of heartbreak, relationship endings, and new beginnings-fictional but often inspired by real life-and set out to convey the raw emotions that are exposed in those most vulnerable of states. Collaborating with celebrated talents like Julianne Moore, Keira Knightley, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ennis and Cronenberg developed each character, built her world, and then photographed as she lived the role before the camera. The resulting collection is a bold look at women at crossroads that will speak to everyone who appreciates art, photography, and the strength of facing emotional depths head-on.

Reviews

"Their book, The Endings: Photographic Stories Of Love, Loss, Heartbreak, And Beginning Again (Chronicle Books, 21.99), explores different narratives of this through striking photos (pictured). These images tell stories of sadness, loneliness, anger, relief, rebirth, freedom and happiness. They are explorations into raw emotions, looking at female characters at a crossroads, and how they move forward (or dont) after heartbreak, say the authors. The stories are about relationship endings, but they are also about beginnings. They capture the journey of moving on. Starting again. These are the stories we set out to tell. Moving and beautiful." -- Psychologies
"In her new book The Endings, photographer Caitlin Cronenberg, in collaboration with stylist Jessica Ennis and a handful of some of the most lauded and talented actresses in the UK and the US, asks what a broken heart looks like." -- The Glasgow Herald
